In order to gain the market share and increase their profits all they need to do is to be
global and innovative. Ford is focusing more on the one team and one plan and one goal
strategy .one team involves all with their own decision making power to the process
whereas one strategy is more aligned and globally leveraging their resources. So last but
not the least one goal strategy focuses on building products with customers about what
they want and value in their live. It’s more about knowing what the actual consumers want
to take and see on their cars considering the factors with the same thing to sell. They
have not limited to this only and as Ford is moving further on their lives to go further and
take other things into accou8nt they are moving further to deliver the best of their product
and to be innovative as the customer wants and as the technology leads them.
